Child of Eden, the spiritual sequel to Rez from designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, has a brand new E3 2010 trailer ... and I don't really know what is going on it. But that doesn't matter when it is so gosh darned pretty!

What I do know is that the game will be played on Microsoft's Kinect and allow the player to use their body and experience their senses. I don't know about you, but I LOVE using my body and experiencing my senses. I also love anything Rez-related, so this game is totally for me!

The trailer is nothing more than a series of flashing, colored images and beat-heavy music, but what more can you ask for from the man who created Rez?

My opinion of Kinect completely changed after the Microsoft Press Conference. I now see the device's potential, and this trailer for Child of Eden really gets me excited about the different kinds of gameplay Kinect could offer.

What do you think? Does Child of Eden look as relaxing and hypnotic as it does intense and chaotic? Is that even possible?

I didn't like Rez one bit and still don't get the appeal. It was definitely style over substance, and I can't say this excites me too much

If they package this with the Kinect for $99, I'd get it. $149 for Kinect + $60 for game, though? Not until sales hit.

Microsoft has the ball in their court, and I think that the price point is what is going to make or break Kinect.

See, the whole time I didn't give a shit about Kinect because nothing was interesting about it. None of the games for it were worth looking at. Then this is shown off with just a trailer and MS doesn't even talk about it? THIS IS INTERESTING. SHOW ME THIS.

Where's the potential in Kinect? From what they've shown it's exactly like what it looked like before: a high-fidelity EyeToy with no new ideas that would make such an interface actually fun for playing games.

Looking really awesome, and definitely should've taken the place of one of the many Kinect games at the keynote.

That trailer shows this is coming out for PS3 as well. Clearly the Eyetoy will function just as well.

mm-hmm. So, do that trailer over with the guy swiping on a 100" touch screen, he's like 5' away flailing his arms at a regular ass HDTV. So much less cool. All to play an on-rails shooter? GG Microsoft for being able to mis-sell that shit. Analog stick and fire button plz.

Well, half of this is exciting (the rez part). The kinect part kills the excitement while it is still a baby chick just out of the egg.

Will this be on Sony Move as well? That I might be able to get behind (if move is as precise as they say).

I am in love with that trailer. The music, the visuals, everything blends perfectly to show what will hopefully be one of the greatest games of this console generation. I'll now forget about it, so when it doesn't live up to my current expectations, I won't feel so bad.

Also, is it just me or is that little sound bit at around 0:21 a sound effect from the Wind Waker?

I feel tired already. Looks awesome but I feel the player will tire themselves out after a while of this game and moving like that guy was. But Im sure someone will say it builds stamina or your lazy lol.

Even though it looks awesome, I feel the same way about unnecessary peripherals and flailing around the room as most people.

Make the motion an optional feature, and allow a "controller mode" and I'm sold.

Sorry...HARMONIX and now Tetsuya Mizuguchi with KINECT Games...

I'm sold......

I was impressed by the demo and as a hardcore gamer that appreciates the casual game for getting non-gamers to play at parties I'm excited to see that real developers are getting behind it.

Now let's hope that there is some actual quality control behind the game approvals unlike the laden with crap library that the Wii (and any nintendo platform it seems) has become.

I'd rather see a Rez-like game that sounds and looks like this:
http://vimeo.com/1169450

And what we've got here is some kinda eurodance, awful stuff. I mean I wanna hear more interesting sounds, clicks and bleeps, some awesome ambience, old analog synths and definitely more complex rhythm structures. If not for the sound, but for gameplay. Just imagine - you play through the level several times and while sounds remain the same, the patterns differ every time. And it's not that hard to do.

And this shit is really uninspiring.

Hire me, Ubisoft, I'll program some nasty sounds in Max\MSP that'll make you shit your brain out. Go ahead and do it.

This is going to be to Rez what BlazBlue was to Guilty Gear. It's going to be fantastic and I have faith in the developer not to let the "motion control" fad ruin it.

So while MS were showing off their 20+ types of animal you can play with , this shit was going down.

Good way to boost confidence in your apparent brand knowledge MS.
Is it just me or is the Kinect looking like the next fiasco that occurred with the Zune?

What the fuck was Microsoft thinking? That trailer above sold me on Kinect more than an hour of shovelware did. Seriously what the fuck are they thinking?
